ed lavandera is back for us.ve spoken to that masseuse, emma o'reilly. >> well, her story is fascinating. it's detailed quite extensively in the u.s. anti-doping agency report where she gave a 21-page affidavit to investigators there last year. and in that story, put yourself in this woman's shoes. she was in her late 20s, back in the late '90s. she joined the u.s. postal service cycling team. she joined the team as a masseuse. and it wasn't too much longer after that that she realized part of her job began entailing making runs to picking up the various drugs that the cyclers were using on this team. and this isn't just like going down the street to a walgreens or cvs. this was driving from france to spain, 18-hour round-trips to deliver -- pick up pills in one case that was detailed. another story she told investigators was she had driven a bag to nice, france, where lance armstrong and his first wife had a home and delivered a brown paper bag of drugs in the parking lot of a mcdonald's. so this is something la

here's cnn's ed lavandera. >> reporter: it's a script that would make a hollywood writer jealous. cycling athlete gets cancer, nearly dies, but comes back to one the world's most famous race, not once, not twice, but a record breaking seven straight times. by the way, he also starts a cancer foundation which has raised $470 million and has provided inspiration to millions around the world. but a dark cloud hovering over this story never blew past. suspicions that grew into allegations that lance armstrong used performance enhancing drugs to accomplish his incredible feats. the suspicions were confirmed in october when the united states anti-doping agency released thousands of pages of evidence of what it said was a sophisticated doping program. armstrong was stripped of his tour de france titles and banned from all olympic sports for life. onby one, his sponsors have left him too. late last year, armstrong was forced out from live strong, the cancer charity he founded. armstrong has kept a low profile at his austin home since the report was released, but a armstro armstrong's repe

ed lavandera takes a closer look. >> reporter: just after the u-s anti-doping agency released it's "reasoned decision" report last october condemning lance armstrong as a doper. the cycling icon made his first public appearance in one of the few safe places he had left. armstrong had just stepped down as the chairman of livestrong, days before the foundation's annual ride for the roses charity biking event in austin, texas. he was surrounded by more than 4-thousand cyclists. many of them cancer survivors. >> "obviously it has been interesting and as i said the other night, at times very difficult few weeks people ask me a lot how you doing, well i've been better but i've also been worse." as the lance armstrong myth >> reporter: has unraveled over the years. he's now often criticized for using his relationship with cancer survivors and the livestrong foundation to salvage his public image. it's been called the "magic cancer shield." texas monthly magazine writer michael hall has profiled lance armstrong extensively. >> "the foundation does this incredible work then he starts to kind of use t

cnn's ed lavandera is live in austin, texas, what about the fallout in texas and around the country forrong now? >> reporter: i think everyone's trying to gauge just how much fallout there will be. we're here at a bike shop called mellow johnny's, not too far away from where the livestrong foundation is headquarters. lance armstrong is part owner of the bike shop. seven yellow jerseys hang on the wall back here, become a popular spot in downtown austin over the last few years but there's a lot of distancing going on, the livestrong foundation trying to make its own way without lance armstrong's footprint. it's how he confesses and body language, someone who hasn't been contrite over the last few years as he's battled the people who criticized him and accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs he has to flip that image 180 degrees. >> ed lavandera, thank you. reed albregotti writer for "the wall street journal," has an article about the timing >> good morning, thanks for having me. >> there are a lot of details we don't know about what he's told oprah and the quality of the confess

ed lavandera has been following the story. he's in austin tonight. ed? >> reporter: erin, oprah promised leading into this interview that it was at times emotional and on this second night is when we finally saw some of that emotion. lance armstrong becoming the most emotional we saw him in this two-night interview when he had to explain to his kids that he had been lying all along for more than a decade. >> when this all really started, i saw my son defending me and saying that's not true. what you're saying about my dad is not true. and it almost goes to this question of why now. yeah. that's when i knew i had to tell him. and he'd never asked me. he'd never said, dad, is this true? he trusted me. i said don't defend me anymore. don't. >> reporter: as we moved on throughout the interview, this is the part of the interview that i think will have most of the people who have been following the lance armstrong saga for so long that will really be parsing and taking a deeper look into, and this is the question of his comeback to the tour de france in 2009 a

ed lavandera is live on the scene. what did you find out about the shooting? >> hello, anderson. the two people involved in this altercation, apparently only one gun involved, were two of the three that were wounded. the third person that was wounded was a maintenance worker here at lone star college who was standing nearby. he was wounded in the leg and is being treated at the hospital tonight. right now we know investigators are interviewing the two suspects and the two men involved in the altercation. so far no criminal charges have been filed and no one has been arrested. so they're still trying to piece together exactly what led to all of this. so far the best accounts that we've gotten from what happened i think comes from one of the students at the school who was about ten feet away and said that they could hear the students arguing or actually only one of the students arguing about something, and then all of a sudden it started escalating. according to that one student, she said it seemed like something that could have been resolved but it kept getting worse. i mentioned

ed lavandera is in houston tonight with the latest. your understanding at this point about how this happened? >> reporter: really, the best information or the most colorful information we have received or heard so far is from those witnesses that saw the altercation taking place. there was one witness who had told one of the initial reporters here on the scene that they had scene the altercation escalate and in the words of that one witness, they talked about how it seemed like it was something that could have been resolved but it kept escalating. one gun involved between these two people. the maintenance worker who was shot in the crossfire there was wounded in the leg and he is being treated in the hospital as well. the two people who were involved in the altercation are also hospitalized and wounded and being treated as well, but so far, no charges and no arrests have been made. >> what can you tell us, you say one gun between the two people. with so much focus now on gun laws, what kinds of guns are used, whether they're legal, wha

ed lavandera has the latest. >> they're saying somebody's shooting in the auditorium. >> reporter: theirst 911 call came from inside theater nine just 18 minutes after the start of "the dark knight rises." the call lasted just 27 seconds. the caller's words drowned out by the sounds of constant boom, boom, boom. 30 gun shots could be heard in that one call alone. six minutes later, the shots have stopped. a teenaged relatively of 6-year-old veronica sullivan calls 911, in tears the girl struggles to explain how veronica can't breathe. the dispatcher tells her to start cpr and the girl could only respond "i can't hear you, it's too loud, i'm sorry." veronica would be the youngest victim to die in the theater that night. it's an excruciating four-minute phone call and it left many watching the james holmes preliminary hearing in tears. the family members of some of the victims wish james holmes would simply plead guilty. >> what i would really like to see honestly, i would like to see them throw him in a room with a toilet and nothing else, a window that he can at least see that the day

cnn's ed lavandera is joining us with more. ed, more brutal information coming out?e pictures put a cap on this three-day preliminary hearing and it's clear that james holmes' attorneys are going to be arguing that holmes suffered some sort of mental illness and that perhaps attributed to this attack. but everyone else, the families and prosecutors say that he is not crazy. he's simply just a deviant killer. six hours before james holmes burst into theater 9, he captured self-portraits using this cell phone. these are photographs wearing black eye contacts and smiled holding a gun near his face dressed in the bulletproof gear he would later wear into the theater. in another, holmes bright orange hair is seen wearing a cap while sticking out his tongue. he smiled in court as he looked at the pictures of himself pop up on a screen. tom, whose son was murdered, says he was an animal. >> he was smiling and having a hard time controlling himself. but he's not crazy one bit. he's very, very cold. he's very, vehicle cue lated. >> reporter: prosecutors spent the last three d

cnn's ed lavandera was in the suburban denver courtroom as prosecutors began revealing the evidence againsteged gunman james holmes. ed's joining us now. ed, tell us what you heard. >> reporter: well, wolf, this is really the first time since the july shootings that we've heard from -- firsthand from the officers that made the arrest of james holmes just moments after the shooting that killed 12 people here in aurora, colorado. those officers describe seeing james holmes just standing by his car in this frantic situation, chaotic, with victims screaming and yelling for help, and james holmes just standing there, decked out in protective gear, a helmet and a gas mask. and at first the officers said they thought he was a s.w.a.t. officer. it wasn't until they approached hip they realized this was perhaps the asuspect they were looking for. one of the officers described him as staring off into space, seemed to be out of it. at the same time, the officer said he understood everything that was going on, never really spoke to the officers. but it was the testimony the officers gave where they des

. >> ed lavandera in austin, texas, for us. we will see if, indeed, lance armstrong will rise again. thank you. this was an atypical week. another big sports story that had nothing to do with a game, nothing to do with competition. it's this manti todayo story and this fake girlfriend. he says he was duped and had no part in the hoax. he also says he has no real idea why he was targeted. we'll see what happens with that. let's go back to washington where randi kaye is at the national mall. hopefully it's starting to warm up now that the sun is up. 8:06 there in d.c. >> oh, yeah. sun's coming up. the sun is up. we have a nice, big heater about the size of a small car to my left over here. so that certainly helps. they're taking good care of us here on the set at cnn. even as washington prepares for president obama's inauguration, it's also vowing to do everything necessary to protect americans in a harrowing hostage crisis unfolding in algeria. dan rivers is in london to bring us the very latest this morning. dan, good morning t

cnn's ed lavandera has followed armstrong for years and joins us from austin, the hometown of the disgraced superstar and what more do you know about the oprah interview? >> reporter: well i think i was listening to what oprah said a little while ago on the "cbs this morning" show and the way she answered some of these questions she was asked at one point if lance armstrong was contrite and she simply just said she would let people make up their own minds on that. i think it leaves a lot of questions open as to exactly to what extent lance armstrong will confess and what exactly is he going to be saying along the way. there have been reports leading up to this interview suggesting that lance armstrong is trying to get his punishment reduced and to compete in triathlons and running events which he's wanted to do but that's only done to the extent he helps investigators in other doping investigations, so he's been accused of essentially running the most sophisticated doping operation in the history of sports, according to the u.s. anti-doping agency, so to what extent will he help them? those
